A newly proposed model suggests cancer cells may resist treatment not just through genetic mutations, but by dynamically ...

A new multicenter study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in collaboration with the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and colleagues around the world, ...

Few words are more dreaded to hear from a doctor than learning that a tumor has been discovered. It's something most people equate to significant illness, inconvenience, and even death. Indeed, the ...

A woman’s inherited genes are a powerful indicator of what kind of breast cancer she might develop, a recent study reveals. Specifically, the genes dictate the visibility of epitopes, or proteins that ...

For more than 25 years, chemical and biomolecular engineer Denis Wirtz has pushed cancer research beyond flat cell cultures in petri dishes into three-dimensional models that better represent human ...

Our bodies’ mucosal tissues are constantly exposed to bacteria. When tumors form at these sites, such as in colorectal cancer (CRC) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), normal epithelial barriers ...

Some of the earliest warning signs of breast cancer risk may be hidden deep within the molecular makeup of breast tissue—long ...

A newly identified interaction between ovarian cancer cells and surrounding abdominal cells helps explain the cancer’s ...

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...
